Prayer for seeds of Peace and Hope

Rooted in Pope Leo’s 2025 Season of Creation theme, 'Peace with Creation', this prayer, delivered by Columban Lay Missionary Arlenne Villahermosa calls us to live gently, act justly and bear fruit that heals, restores, and blesses all life, fostering hope and ecological responsibility in our common home.

Prayer for seeds of Peace and Hope

Creator God,
You entrust us with the care of your beautiful world.
May your Spirit from on high renew the face of the earth.
Where there is dryness, sow justice; where there is sorrow, sow peace.
Where creation groans, bring healing; where hearts are hardened, sow compassion.
Make us seeds of hope in a broken world—
faithful stewards of creation,
working with love, perseverance, and courage.
Teach us to live gently, act justly,
and walk humbly with all life.
Through Christ, the grain of wheat who died to bring life,
may we bear fruit that heals, restores and blesses.

Amen
